Last week I went on a tour of the headquarters of a defunct blood testing company. My team at work will have the strange honor(?) of moving our offices here in about a month. The location was once the site of the Wall Street Journal's regional distribution center, until the printing plant shut down in 2011. The WSJ's 45-year-old building was demolished in 2012.
In 2014, the new owners hired Clive Wilkinson to build their headquarters on this site. The building was completed in 2015 but was only in use until mid-2017, when some bad press from the same WSJ caused investors and customers to begin distancing themselves from the company:
